Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!- Bob Marley

It’s not difficult to find people in our lives who tell us something is IMpossible.

Moreover, our own personal fears force us to believe this. By believing, we limit ourselves and ultimately limit our lives.

Many of us keep ourselves small, and unknowingly we project these small-minded limitations onto our worlds when, in fact, very few things in life are IMpossible.

It’s amazing how some of us need to feel that something is IMpossible in order to feel secure. Hmmmmmm, the very idea of feeling secure about impossibilities seems like an oxymoron to me?!??

Yet these people keep the “story of IMpossible” alive and well (in their minds and if we let them, in our minds too). They need to believe that if it’s not possible for us, it’s not possible for them either.

However, what happens to these individuals when a courageous soul chooses not to accept this “story of IMpossible?”

For centuries people thought that it was IMpossible for humans to fly. Lucky for us, Orville and Wilbur Wright did not believe in this “story of IMpossible?” We all know, the Wright Brothers constructed and flew the first successful airplane in 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

That reminds me that we all must push the limits of impossibility not just for our own gain but for others who have perhaps fallen for the “story of IMpossible?”

Witnessing the IMpossible makes it nearly IMpossible to believe in the IMpossible , doesn’t it?

To that end, what impossibility will you prove to be IMpossible today?

South Africa’s first black president spent nearly a third of his life as a prisoner of apartheid, yet he sought to win over its defeated guardians in a relatively peaceful transition of power that inspired the world.

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”

“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”- C.G. Jung

First of all, I love it because I consider myself a truth-seeker and this statement is in its purest form – a timeless truth.

Secondly, I love it because it gives HOPE to those who are in the position of desiring, wanting, seeking or pursuing goals, dreams, passions and objectives.

Lastly, I love it because it helps me to remember that my own desires, dreams, and goals are inspired by God, the Source, the Universe or substitute whatever term feels comfortable for you.

I have heard it said another way, “you wouldn’t have had the desire if nature didn’t put it there in the first place.”

To that end, I believe our goals are divinely inspired. You possess those gnawing desires and passions for a reason.

Undoubtedly, there’s a reason you want to write that business book on leadership, take a jewelry design class, pursue your International Business degree, visit The Northern Lights (the Aurora Borealis, polar region), start your online accessory business, attend Deepak’s conference in San Jose‘, California, learn to read, write and speak Spanish fluently, live in Africa for 6 months of the year, learn more about red wine, read Rich Dad/Poor Dad, visit tea rooms in London, publish your poetry, visit the 9/11 memorial, travel to Paris, go to a movie premiere, fall in love, attend a Broadway show, run the Chicago marathon, build schools in India or fill in the blank.

To be clear, when your desires are pure (whether personal or professional) , meaning, from the heart, it is important to listen because these desires, dreams, hopes, passions are like breadcrumbs leading us to our true purpose in life.
